Ole Time Barbecue 6309 Hillsborough Street, Raleigh, NC 27606

"Solid local BBQ spot. Great vibes inside, nice staff, and fair prices. Have come to decide I’m not a huge fan of the finely chopped pork that is popular in the area. Texture keeps feeling more like a sludge than pulled pork. The sides offered are great and portion sizes are nice."

"Nostalgic NC BBQ joint. Food is on the sweet side, even the boiled cabbage."

"Very good Eastern North Carolina BBQ. The sides are also delicious. The restaurant and parking lot is very small. This is a great place to get food if you are on the way to a NC State football game or just for lunch during the week. I prefer BBQ with a smoke taste but this is still very good. This is a must try if you are visiting or live in the area."

"I got the bbq chicken and chicken pastry combo plate. It had zero flavor and chicken was dry. Hush puppies were good though, the customer service was wonderful, and my food didn’t take long to come out."

"Was in NC for the first time a couple days ago for only about 36 hours. A friend back home in Colorado said I had to eat at the Angus Barn, but I passed and chose to find some BBQ. Came here based on reviews and the building / cars in the parking lot. With a building like that and a full parking lot, you know it’s gonna be good. I took a seat, got called honey and darlin’ a few times and knew I made the right choice. I had the ribs and pulled pork with Brunswick Stew and boiled cabbage (recommended by the awesome staff). All was delicious and the ribs are probably the best non-sauced ribs I’ve ever had. Tender, wet, smoked to perfection - delicious! They made me feel like a regular. If I’m ever in Raleigh again, I’ll be back"
